Belgium is known for its chocolates and waffles. This is one of the oldest chocolatiers in Bruges…read more I stopped by the cafe for a little something to warm me up since it was really cold outside. When you order a cappuccino and you get to pick a fresh homemade piece of chocolate. That's a special treat. Waffles were heavenly. Warm, light and it was topped with Belgium chocolate chip ice cream. OMG... it was so good.

Amazing chocolate. Seriously amazing…read more My first foray into Belgian chocolates didn't let me down at all. I just got three pieces of chocolate to sample. I got the caramelized, dried orange covered with chocolate, the hazelnut rocher truffles and another chocolate I don't remember the name of. The orange was amazing with the chocolate, and the way they caramelized it and covered it with the rich chocolate made it perfect. The rocher truffle was perfect, melt in your mouth goodness. I couldn't choose which one was better because both were so satisfying I would definitely return to buy boxes of just the two!

While the pralines might not be as ornate or beautiful as some of the other shops, it's also less expensive while still being high quality. We bought pralines, chocolate chips, stroopwafels, Florentines, you name it, they have everything! Very friendly service, perfect English, I highly recommend!

I first found Leonidas in Amsterdam and was amazed by the quality of chocolates. They even opened a…read morestore in Old Town Pasadena and Santa Monica (Los Angeles area, for those unfamiliar) more than ten years ago. They've since mostly pulled out of the U.S. except for a location in Chicago. It's a bigger brand of chocolates in contrast with the dozens of mom-and-pop stores in Bruges. However, their stuff is top quality and consistent. They offer a huge variety and even had plenty of decorative tins available as gifts. Pricing is straight-forward. There is even a foldable guide to the chocolates to include in your gifts. I honestly cannot walk past a Leonidas without going in and buying something.

I bought a few boxes for my hospital staff in California, and I ended up coming back to Belgium or making sure I detour through Bruge to get more chocolates for myself too (no joke, now it's been x3 times in 14 months)!

Quality was good and they had some flavors and fillings that were different from the others. I supposed that's one way that each store tries to separate itself.

A wonderful cafe for coffee and a sweet. There's an amazing number of cakes, pastries and cupcakes…read more The place is filled with old world charm and character. There are two floors with the WC on the third (second floor here). We sat upstairs and the staff is gracious, attentive and speak perfect English. It's a cozy and very intimate coffee cafe for a nice afternoon treat. I ordered a doubt shot American coffee and a slice of Julie's Moelleux cake, and incredibly rich chocolate cake. It was delicious. The coffee was strong and good. Ed had a cheesecake with a red berry collisions on top. Equally delicious. This place is a calorie buster and a bit pricey but worth the splurge.

You can buy prepackaged sets of pralines (really reasonably priced too), or something fancier like their chocolates-that-are-shaped-to-look-like-other-things.

My wife and I visited this shop two different times on two different days while we were on vacation in Bruges.

They made it a true pleasure to shop there, and the chocolates were indeed wonderful! I highly recommend this shop!
